Earle Craigie:  

As of 12/14/2010 I started at Northeastern University in the fall of 1961. I left school in my third year after a motorcycle accident and went into the Army. I got married to Marilyn Bilak from Somerville while in the service. I received a hardship discharge to go home and help my folks (my Dad was very sick). Marilyn and I had two wonderful boys (Ken and Wayne). We divorced after 14+ years and remain good friends. I got married a second time to Betty Ward from Michigan who was much younger than me. We divorced after 4+ years and we also remain friends. She has since remarried and has a son. In 1988, I fell in love with Laurel Dickerson. Shortly after we started dating, she moved from Massachusetts to California due to a prior commitment. After a year, I too moved to California to be with her. We had a wonder 15+ years together. She passed away in March of 2005 from lung cancer. Although not officially married, I consider myself widowed. My older son, Ken, married a wonderful woman named Janet form Virginia while he was in the service. I have two grandchildren, Justin (18) and Kira (15). My younger son, Wayne, is still single. Both Ken and Wayne live in Maryland about 4 miles from each other. Besides being brothers, they are best friends.
